Mickey Grieves Dead Dogs, Tans His Hide

Posted Feb 20th 2009 8:43AM by TMZ Staff

Loki wasn't the only pooch Mickey Rourke sent to pet cemetery this month -- because last night, the guy told us his 18-year-old Chihuahua was the second of his six dogs who passed.

We got him going into a tanning salon -- gotta darken that leather for Oscar Sunday -- where the fans outside were totally loving him.

16. Yes Bobette, you are the only person who thinks that he is creepy. He is not gay! He is more of a man then you jokesters will ever be! Just because he has had some plastic surgery due to boxing, he is still fine as hell!!!! He is a real manley-man! He is very honest and sweet. I love that he was so close to his dog, that is also a turn on. I have always liked you Mickey and I am glad your back. Lucky for Paris, I saw you went to her birthday party. I didn't know her and I had the same birthday, I wish you were at my birthday party on Feb 17th. That would have been the best present ever! You are on my bucket list, I hope I can meet you one day!!!!!

17. I hope Mickey wins the Oscar. He deserves it. Plus the more money, success, and exposure he gets, the more animals are helped. He has already educated a large segement of the population who had never thought about the evils of puppy mills and breeders before. The rewards of pet rescue are evident every time he talks about his dogs and the mutual love between them.

Did you know the big scar on his lip is from a chihuahua bite? At a rescue center, he was shown a formerly abused dog who had been deemed unadoptable. Mickey picked him up and the chihuahua bit the hell out of him. Mickey immediately said that he would adopt this dog, because it deserved to know that not all people are a--holes.

You go, Mickey!

19. poor mickey rourke my dog died in september and i know exactly how he feels theres nothing worse to happen even if he wins the oscar (which he most likely will) it still won't make him feel better but god bless that loki made it 18 years.

20. Ya know, I've always enjoyed your subjects but this just went to far for me. Apparently you and noone else at TMZ has ever experienced the loss of an animal that was considered part of your family. There's been times where I've felt your reports actually had some heart but this piece as well as any that have to do with any "famous" persons loss of a pet is just beyond respectable. Show some compassion especially when you all can see that someone has lost something they love.
